Mailbox Monday March 8

Mailbox Monday is a meme where you can post what books came into your home during the week. It is hosted by Marcia over at The Printed Page. Go on over and check it out. Be warned though it can lead to large TBR piles and wish lists!

Excuse the bad picture. I get one shot with the camera lately and then it dies. This mornings shot was not a good one. This week was a fun week.

1. Country Bob's All Purpose Sauce - I won two bottles of sauce from Vicki at Reading At The Beach. Vicki had a fun giveaway for the sauce and my son is the condiment king so of course I entered. It also came with a recipe pamphlet and a bookmark advertising a cookbook using the sauces. I love cookbooks so I may have to get this one. We love this sauce! Thank you Vicki and Country Bob's!

Synopsis borrowed from B&NTessa Russo is the mother of two young children and the wife of a renowned pediatric surgeon. Despite her own mother's warnings, Tessa has recently given up her career to focus on her family and the pursuit of domestic happiness. From the outside, she seems destined to live a charmed life.

Valerie Anderson is an attorney and single mother to six-year-old Charlie—a boy who has never known his father. After too many disappointments, she has given up on romance—and even to some degree, friendships—believing that it is always safer not to expect too much.

Although both women live in the same Boston suburb, the two have relatively little in common aside from a fierce love for their children. But one night, a tragic accident causes their lives to converge in ways no one could have imagined.

In alternating, pitch-perfect points of view, Emily Giffin creates a moving, luminous story of good people caught in untenable circumstances. Each being tested in ways they never thought possible. Each questioning everything they once believed. And each ultimately discovering what truly matters most.

6.Forbidden Falls by Robyn CarrI bought this after reading about this series on a blog. I thought this was the first book in the series but alas it is not. I thought the series sounded like a nice light read.

So that is what came to my house last week. What fun books made their way into your home?

Oh I can't wait to see what you think about the Outlander series!! I held off a long time on reading them because I'm not too into the whole time travel thing, but now they are counted among my favorite of all-time reads!

About Me

I am a working mom of 3 young adults. I am also mom to 4 cats and 1 dog. I love to read and always have a book close at hand. I like to read many different genres of books. Our life can get pretty crazy but I always find time to escape into a good book. If you could see my pile of TBR books you would agree that I am a true bookaholic!

If you are a publisher or an author and you would like me to review your book feel free to contact me at bthgordon[at]yahoo[dot]com. Along with my blog, I also post reviews on Amazon, Barnes and Noble, Goodreads and Librarything. I mostly read fiction, christian fiction, historical fiction but do occasionally read some non-fiction.
